Gallery space
Outer Space was selected in 2021 through a Queensland Government Expression of Interest to manage and activate the JWAC gallery space to showcase Queensland artists.
Outer Space is a not-for-profit contemporary arts organisation with a track record of collaborating with artists and arts workers to develop, make, and present critically engaged creative practice in a supportive professional environment. Outer Space’s tenancy and programming of the gallery help to make the venue a vibrant space engaged in creation, innovation, collaboration and arts presentation.
